Can't Delete Movies from 5th gen iPod Touch?

K... This is strange.  Before we headed to the Marvel Universe Live performance, my son asked me to free up some space on his 5th generation iPod touch 32gig.  So I did or at least I tried.  It didn't free up any space at all and general settings still says there's 18 movies????  I synced to iTunes and tried syncing again with no movies selected.  I then tried throwing a couple back on but it says no space. What gives?  It still thinks there on there but they don't show up except under the "About" settings.  Yes, I've already tried a hard reboot.  I just don't want to have to sit for hours while it restores.  I was going to run Disk Utility but didn't realize i can no longer do that.
Any tips?

OTHER
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • Save pictures from 5th Gen iPod Touch stuck in Recovery Mode

    My iPod Touch has never had any issues until the other day when the battery died and when I recharged it, the screen shows the connect to itunes graphic.  If I connect it to my MBP, I get the message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode.  You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes".
    I have several hundred pictures on here that were never backed up to my MBP or iCloud, so I'll lose all of them if I restore.  I tried to force it out of recovery mode with various patterns of holding down the power and home button without any luck.  I've also downloaded RecBoot and using that to force it out of recovery mode doesn't work either.
    Are there any ways to either 1) get it out of recovery mode and working like normal without doing a hard restore or 2) rip all my unsaved pictures off it and then do a hard restore?
    Thanks!

    1) No
    2) No
    They are gone.  You should be importing them to your computer regularly as you would wiht any digital camera

  • Deleting music from my iPhone/iPod Touch

    How can I delete music from my iPhone/iPod Touch on iTunes? My original computer broke and I connect my devices to my laptop but I cannot delete to make room even when I activate my account to the laptop. It tells me non of my music is connected to the laptop and basically if I want room, I gotta restore my device but I don't want to lose all the stuff I have on it. Is there another way to delete music from the devices itself? I can delete podcast but not music...that's kind of dumb.

    you can't.  The iPhone will only synch with ONE iTunes library at a time.

  • Suddenly, after 9 months ownership my 5th gen ipod touch (1OS 8.1) has started filing photos in AEE format which I can't open on my computer. What's the cause

    AEE file.   Suddenly after 9 months ownership my 5th Gen ipod touch (iOS 8.1) 32GB has started to file photos as AEE files (straight photos no cropping or filters) ..... which my computer (XP) cannot open.    Can anyone give the cause and solution please.

  • How can I delete movie from my itunes

    How can I delete movie from my itunes on cpmputer?

    I think I found a solution to this problem. Go into the Video app and tap on TV Shows and then tap on the icon for the show that is downloading. Next to each episode, there is a circle with a square in the middle of it. Tap the square next to each episode and it will disappear both from that list and and from the downloading queue in the iTunes app. When you want to download a particular episode, go back into the show in the Video season and tap on Show Complete Season. Now each episode has its own Download button.
    Needless to say, it is insane that when you redeem a season purchase on the iPad, it insists on downloading the entire season.

    Hey jtom234412,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your device is not detected in iTunes for Windows. The following resource may help resolve this issue:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538
    Furthermore, if your device is in recovery mode (displaying an iTunes symbol, with a plug), see the relevant information under Step 5.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

    How can i delete movies from my macboook to make space and keep them on icloud?

    Since iTunes Match nor iCloud supports storing video content at this time (other than music videos purchased from the iTunes Store) what you want to do is not possible. There may be other cloud storage solutions out there, but none that integrate with iTunes.
    FYI, if any of the movies are purchased from the iTunes Store the service Apple calls iTunes in the Cloud by be a partial solution for you. However it is strongly recommended that keep a local backup of all your purchased media and not depend solely on a third party (Apple) to keep your data safe.

    An "other" larger tha about 1 1/2 usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:

  • 5th gen iPod Touch crashes spontaneously

    Hi there
    My 5th Gen iPod Touch crashes at random times, usually when on wifi.  When it does this, it resets my clock by ten or twenty or thirty minutes and I have to fix the time because it does not automatically restore via the Internet.  I tried restoring my iPod, both at home and at the Apple Store, but when the person helping me ran a diagnostic on it I was told nothing came up.  My diagnostic data was still on the iPod and I had three kernel panic reports and about eight reset counter reports, so I'm not sure why I was told that.  I've seen a similar thread on here saying it was probably the battery, so I thought that was the problem, but I've just been told otherwise.  I don't know what to do because last night I plugged in my iPod and left the room, then came back to find the screen cracked (I'm guessing having to do with the battery).  No one else was in the room and I didn't drop it.  Because I don't know how to reproduce the problem, I'm having a hard time proving it exists regardless of diagnostic data, and now it looks like I dropped it and that damaged the device, when that is honestly not the case.  Does anyone have any ideas? 
    Thank you.

    Hello
    No, I did not restore from backup.  I restored to factory settings at the Apple Store and when I got home and tried to set up my email, my iPod restarted again.  The time reset to ten minutes previous. 
    I'm mentioning the crash reports because they all correspond to the times my iPod restarted.  It has crashed four times in the last hour and all I've done is download two apps (Podcasts and Skype) and added my email accounts.
    Thanks very much.

  • Why won't my 5th Gen Ipod touch switch on?

    I have had my 5th Gen Ipod touch for 1 week. This morning it wouldn't switch on, the screen just stays black. Neither itunes or my computer recognise it but if I plug it into a mains charger the apple logo flashes slowly. I have tried everything suggested in the forums. Is there anything else I can do? Or is it a trip to the apple store?

    Try:
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • What is this? (From 4th Gen iPod Touch dock connector)

    I recently bought a 5th Gen iPod Touch which is great. My 4th gen broke a year ago and wouldn't charge. This morning I decided I'd see what's wrong with it. I shone my flashlight in the dock connector and I realised this thing wasn't connected to anything and was kind of just... sitting there. What is it?

  • Brand New 5th Gen iPod Touch Won't Connect to Wifi

    I just got a brand new 5th gen iPod Touch and expected to have a fun night of playing with it, but instead I was trying to figure out why it won't connect to my network. Not a good introduction to a product.
    Here is the related info and troubleshooting steps I've already tried:
    - It will not connect to my wifi network
    - The iPod Touch says "Unable to join the network [network name]" when I try to connect to my network (as opposed to "Could not find the network [network name]" when it is not the correct network name)
    - I was able to connect to a random unsecure network nearby
    - Of course I power cycled my router and modem to reset them
    - My wireless router does not broadcast its SSID; I made it broadcast it and it still didn't connect
    - My network is password protected. I tried changing the security type, as well as turning the password off altogether, but nothing worked
    - My wireless router is a Netgear WGT624 v3
    - Even though it's brand new, I tried resetting the iPod Touch and the network settings
    Does anyone have any tips or solutions for this?
    I wasn't able to find other people with this problem, at least not with solutions that I haven't tried. It's really frustrating not being able to connect to the internet with my new device.
    I will point out that my Android phone connected to my wifi network on the first try with no problems.
    Thanks
